What People Say About Working With Us
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.

Clayton Homeowners We Help
Clayton sellers arrive with different houses and different reasons. These are the situations we hear about most often, and what each one usually involves.
A House That Needs Work
A tired kitchen, an aging roof or deferred repairs can slow a sale on the open market, because buyers with loans often ask for repairs or price cuts. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, so you do not have to fix anything first. If the numbers work, we send a written offer after we review the house, and the offer reflects its condition.
An Inherited House
If a family member left you a house in Clayton, you may be dealing with distance, paperwork and a property nobody lives in. We can evaluate the house and make an offer while the estate is being sorted out. Closing needs someone with legal authority to sign, and a California estate attorney can confirm who that is.

A Rental With Tenants
You do not have to wait for a lease to end to talk to us. Tell us about the lease and the rent. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens depends on the lease terms. If the numbers work, we can make an offer on a house with tenants in place.

A Divorce or a Shared Owner
When two owners are splitting up, the sale often has to work for both. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. Everyone whose signature or authorization is required has to sign before closing.

Back Taxes, Liens or a Behind Mortgage
Money pressure can make a regular listing hard. Liens and back taxes can often be paid from the sale proceeds at closing when there is enough equity. If you are behind on the mortgage, contact us early. A sale may help you avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time, but we cannot promise to stop or postpone one.

A Vacant House or Fire or Smoke Damage
An empty house still costs money every month, and fire, smoke or water damage can make a listing harder. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work. Tell us what happened and what has been repaired so far, and we will review it with that in mind.

Tell us about the property and you will hear back within one business day. Send it on a weekend and that means the next business day. There is no pressure either way.
Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Clayton are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Documentary Transfer Tax and repairs can all come out before you see a dollar. Here is how the three paths compare.
| Cost or Factor | Eagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale) | Traditional Listing (Agent) | Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Commission | None - $0 | Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $1,032,700 sale is about $51,600 to $62,000 | Usually none, though a service fee often applies |
| Repairs Before Sale | None - we buy as-is | Often paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for more | Often deductions for repairs after the inspection |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statement | The same tax applies | The same tax applies |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs, except your share of any transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and prorated property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds. | Title, recording and closing fees, plus prorations; amounts vary by contract | A service fee set by each platform |
| Days to Close | Most close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the date | Weeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall through | Set by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas |
| Showings and Inspections | No public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreement | Multiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspection | Usually a company inspection, often with repair deductions |
| Financing Contingency Risk | No buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still apply | Buyer financing can fall through weeks into the process | Low risk, but platform rules apply |
| Condition Required | We buy as-is - no updates needed | Buyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollar | Varies - iBuyers often exclude significant distress |
Your actual net depends on your loan payoff, prorations and contract terms. We walk through it with you before you sign anything. Instant-offer terms vary by company and change often.
Skip the listing process. Close on your schedule, in Clayton, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
One homeowner who contacted us had her husband make the first call about her house. Our acquisition manager saw that the inquiry carried her name, not his, and asked whether she could join. At Eagle, the owner joins the conversation before anything moves forward, so a three-way call was set for when he got home. Our acquisition manager described that first call as a basic one, meant to learn about the property and its condition.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company who coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing provider arranges. Here is how it runs.
Tell Us About Your Property
Call us at (833) 330-1625 or fill out the form on this page. We ask a few basic questions: the address, the condition and your situation. No obligation, no hard pitch. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, foundation and any past damage. See how our closing process works, start to finish.
Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day
We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Clayton, and the repair costs, which we take off the price rather than asking you to do the work. You get a written cash offer with no agent commission. It shows the price, the contingencies and your estimated net before you sign. To weigh it against a traditional sale, our California page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title or escrow with the closing provider, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Documentary Transfer Tax and every other cost are shown on your settlement statement before closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, depending on when the title work clears, or later if you need more time; you pick the date. Anything that could change the price after we agree is written into the agreement, so you can see it before you sign.
Clayton Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Clayton home at $1,032,700 in August 2026, 1.0% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A house that needs work, or one you need to sell on a short timeline, can sell for less than that figure. A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling.
Listing with an agent can bring a higher price when a house is market-ready and you have time to wait for a buyer. Agent commission is usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price; it is negotiable and depends on the agent. On a $1,032,700 sale, that would be roughly $51,600 to $62,000, shown only as an illustration. Eagle does not charge an agent commission on a direct sale to us.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Clayton
These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.
- Ask for proof of funds. A real buyer can show a bank letter or statement quickly. Ask us the same question. If we assign the contract, ask the closing buyer for theirs too.
- Ask whether they intend to assign the contract. Our answer: Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. Assignment itself is not the problem. What matters is whether the right to assign is disclosed, whether the buyer stays accountable under the agreement, and whether the closing structure and deadlines are clear before you sign. Ask any buyer to put those terms in writing.
- Never pay anything up front. No application fee, no inspection fee, no processing fee. If money is moving from you to the buyer before closing, stop.
- Look the company up. Search the buyer's name in the business registry of the state where it was formed, and check that it is active. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is registered in Ohio.
- Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.

Clayton and Contra Costa County Seller Questions
Clayton Foothill Homeowners: What to Know Before a Cash Sale
Repairs, HOA communities, mobile homes, closing, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out my Clayton house before you make an offer?
No. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the condition. Leave what you do not want to take. Whether we make an offer depends on the address, the value and whether the numbers work.
My Clayton house is in an HOA community. Does that complicate a cash sale?
It can add a step. Association dues and other balances are usually settled from your proceeds at closing, and some associations require a notice or a transfer step. Gather your latest statements and governing documents before we talk. An attorney licensed in California can confirm what your documents require.
How much money will I actually get from selling my Clayton house?
It depends on the cash offer, your mortgage payoff and any liens or taxes owed. Eagle does not charge an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your payoff and other seller obligations come out of the net proceeds. We send a written offer so you can see the number before you decide, with no obligation.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Clayton house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Clayton: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Who handles the closing in California?
The closing is handled by a title or escrow company. The closing professional runs the title search, arranges the payoffs and prepares the settlement statement. You can usually sign in person or remotely as the closing company arranges. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
Do you buy mobile homes in Clayton?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the land and the home together, send us the address and we will review it. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property and whether the numbers work.
What about capital gains tax if I sell my Clayton home for cash?
A sale to a cash buyer is generally taxed under the same rules as other home sales, and the tax you owe depends on your purchase price, improvements, how long you lived there and your situation. We are not tax advisors. A tax professional can tell you what applies to you.
What should I do with furniture and belongings left in the house?
You usually do not need to clear the house first. Take what you want and tell us what you plan to leave behind. We can discuss it when we review the house, and the purchase agreement sets out what stays.
Is selling my house for cash a good idea?
It can be when speed, convenience and selling as-is matter more than getting the highest possible price. A cash offer means you skip repairs and showings, while a traditional listing may be better for a market-ready house when price is your priority. Either way, read the written agreement and make sure you understand it before you sign.
Do you buy houses everywhere in Clayton?
We evaluate houses in Clayton, including the areas named on this page, and elsewhere in Contra Costa County. We cannot promise an offer on every house, because it depends on the address, the value and whether the numbers work. Send us the address and we will tell you where we stand.
Can I sell my Clayton house with a lien or back taxes on it?
Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Clayton?
It depends on how title was held and California law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in California should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Clayton house as-is?
Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California can confirm which disclosures apply.
Will Eagle Cash Buyers buy my house itself, or assign the contract?
Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.
Can selling my Clayton house to you stop a foreclosure?
A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In California, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in California can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Eagle Cash Buyers is not a law firm, title company or tax advisor. This information is general and is not legal, title or tax advice. Laws, procedures and transaction costs vary by state and locality, and the purchase agreement and closing documents control each transaction.
